I’m from India myself but I live abroad. Every year when I go to India, it feels like I’ve entered some other world especially when compared to the country I’m living in. People there literally have no sense(ignorant). For example, the government gives housing to those who are homeless but those people prefer to sleep on the streets and rent out the provided housing given to them(for extra income). Honestly it’s horrible living there(mostly because of the disgusting mindset). But for information, Chennai is comparatively much much better than most North Indian cities.
Interesting to hear. And yes, I already stated your conclusion (at the time) that Chennai was the best of a bad bunch. And yet still terrible. I made that clear so that I wasn’t making an unfair representation
@@Ramesh-l3e1b nah ! North India is pretty bad, south india is also bad but comparatively it is better but throwing garbage is problem is in every state in India accept the reality just go outside of your house and walk on a footpath if you get one unbroken just see that how much long you can walk on them without seeing any garbage litter in every minute or more just see yamuna river just see people in Mumbai those who live in tent or dharavi place they have more money than we think but rather living in tier 2 cities or industry centred cities they live their home less in India many people made this unnecessary thinking of easy money selling their respect and complaining about government knowing that they are the one who are electing them, citizens are the one being selfish for own certain community centred politics, us many Indians have build a bad habit of demanding freebies in everything and if not that than glorifying politicians like a god or something without giving any second rational thought
But we are sooporpower 😢. We Indians have made a mockery of ourselves because our government has fooled most people to believe that we are the richest and the rest of the world is crumbling. Godi media at work.
BS... Ur an Abrahamic propagandist trying to convert the world's largest population. Take ur bigoted views and clear off the land. Go to you utopia and leave ppl to determine their own destiny
Many Indians are not taught critical thinking skills. Which are crucial for self reflection and criticism. Indians find it easier to forget what's around them since it's "not their responsibility"

What you are saying is actually a basic right as a citizen. For some reason, seeing other comments, they are cursing you instead of cursing the government itself. My country also experiences many of the same things as you mentioned, lack of infrastructure and cleanliness. with harsh criticism makes the government work and continue to improve the situation rather than cursing tourists who tell the truth. Greetings from Indonesia
All our Tamil Nadu politicians be it ruling party or opposition party have coal mines in Indonesia in proxy's name. When the ruling class and the government officials are corrupt to the neck, we common people can't do anything.

The constant honking alone would make me go insane, how can they live like that? What does the honking even accomplish when everyone ignores it anyway???
I think they basically use it like sonar. Rather than eyes they use ears to know where everyone is (which, is everywhere, as the traffic comes in every direction)
I was told a story by a friend who lives in Chennai. There was a driver who got into an accident, and had to go to court. One of the questions asked to him by the Judge was "Did you honk?". The presumption is: if you did not honk, it's your fault.
Unfortunately, people here in India think that cleaniness is govt. responsibility that's why you'll see Indian streets dirty and so unorganized. Main problem lies in Indians themselves Saying this as an Indian.
@@akshitdobal573they tried but the people didn't listen, they either blocked progress or ignored it. It eventually lost traction and the govt abandoned their initiatives.
Actually true! It was a life changing experience when I arrived at Sri Lanka airport (Chennai didn’t want to let me leave… I had to fight with staff at the airport to allow me to GTFO on my visa)
As an indian i must say Situation is more frustrating for those who really want to make changes which will never happen. But i know atleast me and many people doing their best, and will never give up on country. accepted this criticism positively, thanks for this eye opener.
Hey Prashant, I’ve been amazed by just how many Indians share my thoughts and frustrations and see this as a call to action for change. It’s with the powers that be, mainly, and I should again reiterate the many positive things that I have taken from my encounters with the Indian people. They truly are Incredible and deserve a lot better from their country and its potential
Actually South Indians are much more open minded and willing to accept criticism to improve. Its the North Indians from UP/Bihar and other areas that turn dangerous in any sort if criticism, despite them being so behind, just look howw dirty and poor UP/Bihar are.
@@Deira854bunch of lies . They have entire politics rejecting harmless Hindi and you are saying they are open minded . Truth be told Indian people need to develop the civic sense foremost. There are people who steal public property - lights, trash cans etc and there are others who litter everywhere despite the trash cans and attacked virushka for reprimanding the guy who was trashing the road as opposed to supporting them. A lot of work has been done by the government n it’s the people who need to appreciate n nurture their country
Cheers Arvind. I wasn’t sure how this would go down with the more educated people in India - but it seems that we see things the same way in sharing a common frustration. I didn’t mean for it to offend the people, so I’m glad that it hasn’t. It is an important truth that I wanted to explain 👍
@@InvestedAdventure yeah at the same time part of the blame also goes to Indian public, because if you explain logic to Indian people,they will take it as offence, being myself an Indian I would say not all but 90 percent of Indian people act through their ego instead of logic and maturity,in developed countries people never blindly support any politicians,they cast their vote on the basis of development whereas in India we vote on the basis of religion,caste ,they blindly support politician even if that politician is cruel, corrupt and a lousy leader,

You speak from the heart, you either love India or you hate it. I am the second case.

I don't want to be rude, so I'll just say one thing. India never again
I don’t get why they dont. Indians are amongst the smartest people in the world. They’re turning into an economic power house. Common sense would be to invest that money back into developing the country.
I think these parts are not too bad, its the same in most developing countries, though the worst and most polluted/Underdeveloped part of India is UP/Bihar region, that region is hell even for Indians. The South at least has both good and bad areas

I live in India, and it's a total mess to say the least, and it's not safe for women. Thanks for showing the reality of life here! All cities in India are the same, dirty, polluted, crowded, almost impossible to walk, even in wealthy neighborhoods. It's reality, it's what it is, and it's not a racist or colonial point of view...
This might easily be the most organized Indian city. Cleaner road with no potholes, obeying traffic rules (somewhat), driving on the correct side and a side walk that isn’t full of trash.

Random memories. I was walking down a street in Delhi and didn't see a metal pole protruding from the concrete. It went right into my knee. The pain took my breath away. I remember the tissues would be black when I blew my nose. I probably still have particulates in my lungs from Indian pollution.

Despite the nonsense most Indians will tell you about how the state of India is all because of the Brits, it really does boil down to the will of the people. If you're still in India, try visiting a military cantonment if the city you're in has one. The difference you'll see between the military governed area and the civil lines right next to it is insane! All cantonments are as clean as anything in the west. It's the indisciplined effing civilians who couldn't care less about the gift they've been given that are turning this beautiful land into a thrash can. In fact, one of the saddest observations I've made was realizing what sort of people in India lay down their lives for what sort of people.
This is why, as someone from India, I prefer staying indoors with my whirring air conditioner rather than stepping out for anything except going to work.
Oh my goodness! The Singapore of India 🤣 it was one of the best cities in fairness, and I actually preferred the climate and food to the north of the country

You see in India people wont stop to let you cross the road. The trick is If you simply walk over slowly then the vehicles will slow down to let you cross. So all you have to do is see where the vehicle is and at what speed they are moving toward u before u decide if u want to cross the road. As u try cross the road, the vehicle at speeding distance sees u will slow down to let you cross. You can gesture stop sign at them too for better safety margin.

I have visited India back when I was 12 years old to see my Grandparents for 2 weeks. The experience was abysmal. Mind you that im now 24. I never went back to that country ever since. India has a wonderful culture with a rich history. India actually had 1/3 of the entire World GDP centuries ago. Now look at its condition. Extremely unsanitary, extreme corruption, full of scammers, zero Womens rights and horrible human rights records, incredible amounts of racism and casteism, super polluted, terrible entertainment industry, horrendous infrastructure, flawed education system, little job opportunities, and the list goes on.

We, too, are not happy with the dirt and poor city planning, and we understand that it will take time to improve the standards. Public services and politics are not in the best form. I also believe that you may be accustomed to the comforts of your home country, and as a budget traveler, you should have the mental capacity to accept the place in its raw form and look for positivity. I can list many ways in which India is better than other places. We are a peaceful country, and we are proud of the progress we have made. Though the pace of progress may be slow, we are still moving forward, and that's fine. To all visitors planning to come to India, I would say that visiting India is an experience. After all, what's the point of tourism if every place looks and feels familiar?
Thanks for taking the time to share such a well thought out comment. I agree that travel is about local experiences, however, tourists looking for those can find them in so many other amazing countries (even just in SEA) that don’t involve the same risks to personal safety through roads, hygiene, pollution, poor accommodation and scamming that it really isn’t worth it

@@InvestedAdventureidk about "voice for the Indian people" lol. that would turn out bad imo. just show things the way they are and be balanced about it
The reason for such system is because these are quite old systems, They were not made for that much traffic decades ago, And other then to renovate re-plan the system they just keep adding onto it making it more messy without giving any second thought. If you now look at the new structure and roads they have all necessary steps taken for it, They are clean and safe, It's just that we can't do anything for these old roads now, If we want to renovate them then we have to block the roads which is equal to cutting of blood supply for the city plus there is bureaucracy and politics involved halting the reconstruction of them.
I am very familiar with the area you started walking in. It is definitely the city city, or a very prominent area. WE definitely have problems, people need to change. Everything is not no the government. The local population should care for where we live. Noise pollution, air quality, heat, cleaniness, etc. And chennai is like you said that one of the better big cities in india
I'm chennai resident, honking and traffic is absolutely stressful and irritating, crossing roads is a scary dangerous experience everyday😢.Chennai heat we can't do anything about it though, but when it rains, roads are flooded and police rescue people with boats.

Kudos to you Bru, you are brave enough to challenge your self going to that place but its not worth it visiting that country, I'd rather go to South East Asia which I have visited many times especially the Philippines which I like most because of their friendliness,and kindness other we recommend for you is Vietnam,Thailand,Indonesia and Malaysia they have excellent road and traffic system,clean and friendly environment although they have also traffic and chaos but in a organized manner.They follow traffic rules because penalty is severe.Just try check for self with this 5 SEA Countries.
I moved to my native place in India about 11 months ago. While i had measured air pollution back in 2019 around the area I was going to stay, somehow it has increased by about 50% for PM2.5 and PM10 in about 3 years. I measured it 3 years ago. So you are spot on for heat, and dust/pollution. It just sucks. I am an Indian and I spent about 60% of my life in India and 40% in the US. The trick to living in India is to get up early like 5 or 4.30AM and starting the day from there...if you are going on a walk at 9.30AM.... you are definitely asking for trouble.

You tried to experience the chaos of India and it got to you. However there are a lot of calm places also in India. There is a vlogger Sean King who is from Norwich, he spent time in Kasol in Himachal Pradesh and he loved India. Kasol also has received snowfall. There is a state in India called Mizoram and the people there look like Thais, it is a calm region of India. I really love their music. I have created three playlists from there 1) 25 Mizo Artists and 25 Mizo songs 2) Top 75 Mizo songs 3) 460 Mizo songs I love. Mizoram music is like USA or UK music of 1970s. I recall after seeing a few vlogs of yours I recommend you Burra Bazar in Kolkata and Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi because I knew you wanted to experience the chaos of India. The chaos of India, some love it while some loath it.
Wow thats so thoughtful! I hear that the northern border is meant to be nice - probably because it’s so far removed from the country itself (overcrowding, pollution, chaos)!

He used to spend evenings in the bar and there he met several young couples and college students who were very friendly with him.
I completely agree that India's infrastructure is not par with the rest of the world, but keep in mind that eminent domain law is not applied in India like the rest of the world. So, the government has a hard time building better infrastructure in existing cities. By no means is this the only reason. Culture is taken into consideration, but the modern government has a really uphill battle.
I am going to put these in the simplest terms: 1. All human rights is considered equal as property rights. 2. A person who owns the property has the right to make the decision first, and not even the state/government can make the decision for him or her for the community good. and lastly very important: Third, the Lockean idea of constitutional protection of private property is based on the notion that rights are not created by the constitution, but are only protected by it. Such an understanding implies that the constitution and the sovereign cannot take away property involuntarily. So, you see the problem of infrastructure in old cities (the land owner does not want to give an inch for expansion of a road or side walk), that is why there is a push for new/smart cities, but because of India's corrupted bureaucracy it is moving at snails pace. India has lots of flaws, but on equal side it has greater good also. Thank you.

I know it's a general thing for any traveller to visit the big cities in a country, but Indian cities aren't worth it. Once you get out of them and go to smaller towns or the countryside, you'll have way better experiences. I think India's true soul lies outside its big cities.
Thank u for constructive criticism. Indians who are having the opportunity to receive education must work for the betterment of the country (eradicating poverty is must) rather than leaving it. Thank you for this video. God bless you.
@@InvestedAdventure sorry. What I mean is that people like to make out India as this big royal country with no problems at all. But you show off India for what it is in just one video, a grimey, chaotic place. Sorry if my comment seemed too confusing 😂. But nice going man.
Indian cities are very pedestrian unfriendly - no one I know walks from point a to point b. Why anyone would want to vacation here is beyond me - everyone who gets a chance goes out.
At some level it comes down to culture. People always shit on the west for being colonizers but there is a reason some groups have done better than other and some part of it is culture. I’m saying this as an afghan American.
Hey man, don’t expect you to still read comments but I might be going to India in the future. How do you find proper restaurants (I’ve been told about Delhi belly)? Are the showers clean? Like is there risk of contiamination? I’m just worried mostly about finding clean food and water
Only Go to Indian Resorts far away from Indian People. The beaches wer this filty People dont live are Not full of Shit (yea they Shit on beaches and in the Water)
I've been living outside of India for 15 years and now in India (Tamil Nadu) visiting after 8 years. I am so disappointed to see how we are still the same or worse in many things while we have advanced (not necessarily improved) in so many not so important things. Nothing shown or said in this video is any disagreeable for me and I have had these criticisms all my life and that was one of the main reasons I chose to move out of India. As much as I love my country, I hate all the undeniable facts and realities of day to day affairs.
Some years ago I worked for the us affiliate of a uk firm. Whilst in England at the home office I got to know a fellow engineer. One evening in a pub he told me very softly: I will deny telling you this. But if you are ever asked to go to India do not!
As you said in 17:01 about the dirt where the dirt comes from. We even dont have answer about it. Cuz in my area Mumbai. We clean it daily but still from where dirts pileup we even cant get it.
@@InvestedAdventure in my areas people don't through trash or something and there's no construction site plus not crowded areas as most Mumbai and people wash there surroundings daily, roads too still we see dirt daily.
@@InvestedAdventure Mayb it's heat over any concrete or structure that may cause this. And in Europe and North America it's cold areas so maybe possible 🤔
@@e_jskeg9229 it's the people, simple. Even as an Indian I think people in here don't care about tye surroundings but just their own places, it's just sad
I agree with everything - the filth, the pollution, the traffic, the non-existent pedestrian infrastructure - except for the claim about cash. Perhaps it's not the case for visitors, but most local transactions are done through phone payments.
I’m from India myself but I live abroad. Every year when I go to India, it feels like I’ve entered some other world especially when compared to the country I’m living in. People there literally have no sense(ignorant). For example, the government gives housing to those who are homeless but those people prefer to sleep on the streets and rent out the provided housing given to them(for extra income). Honestly it’s horrible living there(mostly because of the disgusting mindset). But for information, Chennai is comparatively much much better than most North Indian cities.
Interesting to hear. And yes, I already stated your conclusion (at the time) that Chennai was the best of a bad bunch. And yet still terrible. I made that clear so that I wasn’t making an unfair representation

Chennai is really clean by Indian standards. Usually Delhi and Mumbai are bad.
Yeah was just thinking this, almost looks livable.
I can understand your helplessness and jealousy towards India!
The constant honking alone would make me go insane, how can they live like that? What does the honking even accomplish when everyone ignores it anyway???
I think they basically use it like sonar. Rather than eyes they use ears to know where everyone is (which, is everywhere, as the traffic comes in every direction)
I was told a story by a friend who lives in Chennai. There was a driver who got into an accident, and had to go to court. One of the questions asked to him by the Judge was "Did you honk?". The presumption is: if you did not honk, it's your fault.
thats nothing...try Manila (Philippines)...^^

Very true
money allocated for cleaning is siphoned off straight to pockets by the politicians.

Despite the nonsense most Indians will tell you about how the state of India is all because of the Brits, it really does boil down to the will of the people. If you're still in India, try visiting a military cantonment if the city you're in has one. The difference you'll see between the military governed area and the civil lines right next to it is insane! All cantonments are as clean as anything in the west. It's the indisciplined effing civilians who couldn't care less about the gift they've been given that are turning this beautiful land into a thrash can. In fact, one of the saddest observations I've made was realizing what sort of people in India lay down their lives for what sort of people.

India should be added to a new category of 4th World country.
Fr 😂😂
lol
Funny
It's a 3rd world country 4th world country are African country
I've visited > 100 countries. 2 years ago I finally travelled in India for a month. That's exactly what I said: it's a 4th world country. I was shocked.
Title is click-baity but this is fair assessment to me. The random blocks and bricks on the footpath is the most India thing ever. "Why is that there?" That was fucking funny 😂😂
Thanks brother, we’re on the same page!
Atleast there aren't 70 meter huge mountains of garbage polluting everything in radius of 20 miles....
This is so tragic
And also don't forget women safety is a joke.
Unfortunately it seems so, although I obviously haven't encountered that myself so didn't comment
The country is burning in doctor rape & murder case@@InvestedAdventure
Why are You specifically stating only about women safety?
What about men?
@imsusanov2287 Men r way way safer. Incidents against men are just a small crystal of sugar on an adult palm. Althoigh it's true that 1-2% chance of unsafe environment for men also exists
And about men safety 😂
Brother as indian young boy i am really agreed and i felt that i am stuck in hellhole hell is myth but here is real. Crowded street lot of pushy sellers try to sell you everything. Aggresive people and chaotic cities .. so much hot more than middle east countries. Worsy sewage system , dirty toxic water flowing on streets, list is endless ...I was visited Mussorie last some days really i really got punishment for my trip i will never do again ..i really dont like india if i have lot of money i quickly move to another country but unfortunately not

Nice, I can see what you are trying to tell here. But, I sure will never give up on my country that is for sure, I mean we are improving in almost all aspects like our GDP is almost 4 trillion USD(from GDP of 330 billion USD in 1947) which is more than all the european countries(except Germany). That is quite an accomplishment don't you think, and I wouldn't straight up say that India Sucks but yeah it does lag behind in many aspects. Also to think that CEO's of Major companies like Google and Microsoft are Indians is ngl awesome. Thank you for your patience if you read this, and for visiting India(these are just some positives of India, that I wanted to share not just the negatives😊🤗)
I agree man. We gotta do better. I myself want to move to the mountains away from all the loud and chaotic people/places. I just can't stand so many people around me and the pollution.
Hope you can also find the goodness and relish it amidst all the chaos. Cheers!
I love comments like this - definitely the most constructive on any of the videos that I've made. I would love to be the external 'voice' for regular Indian people, brave enough to speak up without fear of ramifications
You see in India people wont stop to let you cross the road.
The trick is If you simply walk over slowly then the vehicles will slow down to let you cross. So all you have to do is see where the vehicle is and at what speed they are moving toward u before u decide if u want to cross the road. As u try cross the road, the vehicle at speeding distance sees u will slow down to let you cross. You can gesture stop sign at them too for better safety margin.
Thanks for trying to help there - it’s still pretty chaotic even with “the hand”, but it does usually work ✋
Nothing you wrote sounds safe at all...😂
@@thetruepatriot7733 Coming from India all my life. When I crossed a major road in US for the first time and noticed how all these expensive cars were stopping for me to cross the road. I felt like a king. LOL. But I must say that NYC traffic is pretty similar to India barring the cows.
Just the fact that Indian drivers don't know what red and green are is worse, imo.
They do know it buddy, just that some don't stop for it as you have to wait 2 to 3 more minutes in the heat...But most do follow @@freddiebox

I sincerely appreciate your honesty. Im an Indian-American who has been living in the United States my entire life. I have visited India back when I was 12 years old to see my Grandparents for 2 weeks. The experience was abysmal. Mind you that im now 24. I never went back to that country ever since.
India has a wonderful culture with a rich history. India actually had 1/3 of the entire World GDP centuries ago. Now look at its condition. Extremely unsanitary, extreme corruption, full of scammers, zero Womens rights and horrible human rights records, incredible amounts of racism and casteism, super polluted, terrible entertainment industry, horrendous infrastructure, flawed education system, little job opportunities, and the list goes on.
I feel horrible at times that India, once an evergreen nation, became reduced to this. Hope people understand.
Thanks man, I appreciate you being so honest
answer the Q of how it went from 33% of world GDP to what you described it is now. fill in the blank. what happened in between??
And what about American Gun culture and 90% divorce rate
@@roshinitoenlightenment There is absolutely nothing wrong with Gun culture in the United States. All we need is slightly stricter background checks. Guns do a much better job protecting civilians than causing harm. As for the 90 percent divorce rate, that is completely nonsense.
@@Irelian_Solyou were in point until you said scammers and women's rights. You're just trying to fit in with Western perception rather than reality and you feel insecure. That's why you ignored the guy who asked what happened in between
Same situation with the payments in Iligan City Mindanao Philippines. You end up walking on the edge of the road as it’s stable ground. Apart from that and beggers I absolutely love Iligan and the buzz of the place.
I've been to the Philippines a couple of times but didnt make it to Mindanao... I know there are some 'rough' parts of town (like anywhere) but I'm yet to experience anything worse than India. Both countries have some of the best people I've met on my travels though...
@@InvestedAdventureoh u never gave Pakistan a try
We, too, are not happy with the dirt and poor city planning, and we understand that it will take time to improve the standards. Public services and politics are not in the best form. I also believe that you may be accustomed to the comforts of your home country, and as a budget traveler, you should have the mental capacity to accept the place in its raw form and look for positivity.
I can list many ways in which India is better than other places. We are a peaceful country, and we are proud of the progress we have made. Though the pace of progress may be slow, we are still moving forward, and that's fine.
To all visitors planning to come to India, I would say that visiting India is an experience. After all, what's the point of tourism if every place looks and feels familiar?
Thanks for taking the time to share such a well thought out comment. I agree that travel is about local experiences, however, tourists looking for those can find them in so many other amazing countries (even just in SEA) that don’t involve the same risks to personal safety through roads, hygiene, pollution, poor accommodation and scamming that it really isn’t worth it
@InvestedAdventure At present, one must have patience, flexibility, and a tolerance for chaos to travel across in India :) .It's good that you moved out .All the best
thank you for still having a balanced perspective man. though a lot of good people doesn't mean they're good politically or activists. they live in a bad place and continue to live in it and push through it though idk if that can be seen as good if it remains that way
I'm glad you found it constructive my friend - perhaps I could become a voice for the Indian people by travelling through your various states and calling things as I see them
@@InvestedAdventureidk about "voice for the Indian people" lol. that would turn out bad imo. just show things the way they are and be balanced about it
The reason for such system is because these are quite old systems, They were not made for that much traffic decades ago, And other then to renovate re-plan the system they just keep adding onto it making it more messy without giving any second thought.
If you now look at the new structure and roads they have all necessary steps taken for it, They are clean and safe, It's just that we can't do anything for these old roads now, If we want to renovate them then we have to block the roads which is equal to cutting of blood supply for the city plus there is bureaucracy and politics involved halting the reconstruction of them.
I cant say that I saw too many of the new roads you refer to, albeit Kolkata was way more advanced as 'little London'
As an Indian myself indian city sucks 😔 that reality , pls visit uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh ❤
Thanks for the tip my friend
I am very familiar with the area you started walking in. It is definitely the city city, or a very prominent area.
WE definitely have problems, people need to change. Everything is not no the government. The local population should care for where we live.
Noise pollution, air quality, heat, cleaniness, etc.
And chennai is like you said that one of the better big cities in india
Agreed 👍
After being in India for almost a month, is Udaipur the best experience for you in India ?
The most unique, Kolkata the most livable, and Chennai the best food
I would rather go to jail than going to india
Best comment ever

@@InvestedAdventure Really? Do you like such comments to encourage prejudice?
But why? India will be a superpower by 2020,............ ohh wait.

I'm chennai resident, honking and traffic is absolutely stressful and irritating, crossing roads is a scary dangerous experience everyday😢.Chennai heat we can't do anything about it though, but when it rains, roads are flooded and police rescue people with boats. Tragic life. India is good but not safe, hygienic or peaceful. Wish I can visit abroad atleast once to get a glimpse of heavenly atmosphere for a week or two🥲
This comment deserves to be pinned. Thank you my friend
So leave India?
@@InvestedAdventurewhy don’t people just leave?
@@Starkillr1 I don't have enough money to leave India, I may go for a tour that's it and although India is imperfect, it's still my motherland, my family and beautiful temples and hillstations are here
I'm chinese living in usa. I travelled in india for a month two years ago. I think Chennai is already one of the better cities in India. There are areas that look clean and decent. I do recall, mostly in other cities, street can be very hard to walk on. honking all the time, no separate road for pedestrians ... certainly not enjoyable. I like Indian people though they are very friendly.
Kudos to you Bru, you are brave enough to challenge your self going to that place but its not worth it visiting that country, I'd rather go to South East Asia which I have visited many times especially the Philippines which I like most because of their friendliness,and kindness other we recommend for you is Vietnam,Thailand,Indonesia and Malaysia they have excellent road and traffic system,clean and friendly environment although they have also traffic and chaos but in a organized manner.They follow traffic rules because penalty is severe.Just try check for self with this 5 SEA Countries.

I moved to my native place in India about 11 months ago. While i had measured air pollution back in 2019 around the area I was going to stay, somehow it has increased by about 50% for PM2.5 and PM10 in about 3 years. I measured it 3 years ago. So you are spot on for heat, and dust/pollution. It just sucks. I am an Indian and I spent about 60% of my life in India and 40% in the US.
The trick to living in India is to get up early like 5 or 4.30AM and starting the day from there...if you are going on a walk at 9.30AM.... you are definitely asking for trouble.
That’s absolutely shocking. I hope you have escaped the worst of it now. It’s truly heartbreaking to see around the world

You tried to experience the chaos of India and it got to you. However there are a lot of calm places also in India.
There is a vlogger Sean King who is from Norwich, he spent time in Kasol in Himachal Pradesh and he loved India. Kasol also has received snowfall.
There is a state in India called Mizoram and the people there look like Thais, it is a calm region of India. I really love their music. I have created three playlists from there
1) 25 Mizo Artists and 25 Mizo songs
2) Top 75 Mizo songs
3) 460 Mizo songs I love.
Mizoram music is like USA or UK music of 1970s.
I recall after seeing a few vlogs of yours I recommend you Burra Bazar in Kolkata and Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi because I knew you wanted to experience the chaos of India.
The chaos of India, some love it while some loath it.
Wow thats so thoughtful! I hear that the northern border is meant to be nice - probably because it’s so far removed from the country itself (overcrowding, pollution, chaos)!
But they also say the same of the south, which is just a poor version of Sri Lanka (a much better destination).
Thanks for the playlist though - 70s vibes
While Sean King loved Kasol he was also appalled to see so much dirt everywhere.
@@NamNam-qq6bd He only saw that in one lane in Mahipalpur, not in Kasol. He also visited Lodi Gardens and Khan Market and he met a lot of friendly middle class Indians. He chose hotels in India in the range of 20 to 30 USD because they have affordable bars. He used to spend evenings in the bar and there he met several young couples and college students who were very friendly with him.
@@webabhi He saw a lot of it in Kasol and its river as well as in Mandikaran.
@@webabhi Oh forgot to add Tosh as well😂
Its very unfortunate to be from this country 😢
What did i do wrong god 😭
You deserve better, but Indians are incredible people. You will go on to enjoy amazing things in the future
I completely agree that India's infrastructure is not par with the rest of the world, but keep in mind that eminent domain law is not applied in India like the rest of the world. So, the government has a hard time building better infrastructure in existing cities. By no means is this the only reason. Culture is taken into consideration, but the modern government has a really uphill battle.
I haven't heard about domain law - what's the history of this in India?
I am going to put these in the simplest terms:
1. All human rights is considered equal as property rights.
2. A person who owns the property has the right to make the decision first, and not even the state/government can make the decision for him or her for the community good.
and lastly very important:
Third, the Lockean idea of constitutional protection of private property is based on the notion that rights are not created by the constitution, but are only protected by it. Such an understanding implies that the constitution and the sovereign cannot take away property involuntarily.
So, you see the problem of infrastructure in old cities (the land owner does not want to give an inch for expansion of a road or side walk), that is why there is a push for new/smart cities, but because of India's corrupted bureaucracy it is moving at snails pace.
India has lots of flaws, but on equal side it has greater good also.
Thank you.
as an Indian myself india is way better in villages and places where culture is everything. Right?
In cities it is messed up.
Not sure that any of it is great tbh
I do now that 😂
By the way india is a great place to do prank
They do follow the caste, strict religion and something like shit but never followed the rules. This is the proof that even god cannot make them right.

@@asingha94 Fastest growing economy? 😂 Who told you Modi? Get your facts straight bro. Disgraceful.
I always say this to everyone wanting to visit India - Indian cities are amongst the worst places to visit in India. I know it's a general thing for any traveller to visit the big cities in a country, but Indian cities aren't worth it. Once you get out of them and go to smaller towns or the countryside, you'll have way better experiences. I think India's true soul lies outside its big cities.
This seems very true

Indian cities are very pedestrian unfriendly - no one I know walks from point a to point b. Why anyone would want to vacation here is beyond me - everyone who gets a chance goes out.
Wow! Says it all
At some level it comes down to culture. People always shit on the west for being colonizers but there is a reason some groups have done better than other and some part of it is culture. I’m saying this as an afghan American.

Hey man, don’t expect you to still read comments but I might be going to India in the future. How do you find proper restaurants (I’ve been told about Delhi belly)? Are the showers clean? Like is there risk of contiamination? I’m just worried mostly about finding clean food and water

I've been living outside of India for 15 years and now in India (Tamil Nadu) visiting after 8 years. I am so disappointed to see how we are still the same or worse in many things while we have advanced (not necessarily improved) in so many not so important things. Nothing shown or said in this video is any disagreeable for me and I have had these criticisms all my life and that was one of the main reasons I chose to move out of India. As much as I love my country, I hate all the undeniable facts and realities of day to day affairs.
I feel the same way about the U.K., for other reasons
Some years ago I worked for the us affiliate of a uk firm. Whilst in England at the home office I got to know a fellow engineer. One evening in a pub he told me very softly: I will deny telling you this. But if you are ever asked to go to India do not!
Hahaha such true words James! I must say, its love-hate. If chaos didn't create such funny interactions then I'm not sure it would be high on my list
As you said in 17:01 about the dirt where the dirt comes from. We even dont have answer about it. Cuz in my area Mumbai. We clean it daily but still from where dirts pileup we even cant get it.
